Shite adware spyware shite
Having had this new PC, all of, about 5 weeks.
Yesterday I managed to get an assload of shit spyway programs on here.
Adaware did its best, but they're still here.
Help.

Re: Shite adware spyware shite
You clearly want AdAware .
Nice all-in-one program. Scans files / registry / internet explorer / hidden-pop-up-stuff / cookies.
Lists everything to you, you select the bad stuff you want to get rid off, and that's it.
Can only recommend it, clearly DOES help!

Adaware has got rid of some, but its not got rid of it all, which was the point of the starting post :/

Re: Shite adware spyware shite
Some spyware programs are so malicious as to even make an uninstall entry. Make sure you check the list
(Configuration Screen -> Software)

They're pretty useless for anything except net useage (due to the adverts every 20 minutes), and you don't need a pc of that spec for that, do you?
Although the graphics card is the sucky sucky.

Re: Shite adware spyware shite
you could leave it running all day without the monitor and take the good parts out of it and swap them with your old PC and use it as a second hard drive or something

Re: Shite adware spyware shite
It's only "lent" to you (see the T&C) so I doubt you're allowed to tamper with it.

You need to be using it (it requires feedback for the adverts), and also I doubt you'd be allowed to swap the parts around, either by the T&C or practically (remember the required net connection, and communication with base)

Re: Shite adware spyware shite
I'm sure there some kind of scam you can use it for (I don't know, some kind of automatic response to the ads) and then using the HDD to store stuff on, but it's probably not worth the hassle.

The only real use I can see is just have 5 of them working away on Ligand Fit quietly.
